In reading stories from widows this is the general tone: that life is hard, that it is not fair. I understand that. It’s almost impossible to feel it any different. And I’m glad you’re bringing encouragement and a broader perspective to the many people that need it every day.

Also, in my experience: Life feels differently depending on how we approach what it brings us. The more we resist what is, the harder it feels. The more we’re able to go with the flow of what life brings us, the softer it becomes.

There are many situations when “just going with the flow of it” seems impossible. But then, it gets easier along the way. And so does life.
